The Krauthammer Conversation

The Scrapbook has previously touted the Conversations with Bill Kristol video series, but we suspect readers will be particularly drawn by the latest in the series—an extended discussion between our editor and one of our renowned contributing editors, Charles Krauthammer.

The author and syndicated columnist reflects on his upbringing in a politically tumultuous Quebec, his work in medicine, and his views on Zionism, Judaism, and religion. Krauthammer also discusses some of the key ideas, questions, and themes of his writing—including the “Reagan Doctrine,” an idea he coined, the role of America in a post-Cold War world, and whether the America of 2015 is in decline. This is a must-see conversation between two of America’s most important thinkers about politics.

 

The full conversation runs a few minutes shy of two hours, but for those who prefer to sip rather than gulp, it has been helpfully divided into six “chapters.” As usual, you can access the video files online, at conversationswithbillkristol.org.
